So I got up early this morning, for whatever reason,
couldn't sleep heard a noise- whatever, checked weather.com and it said that
there would be some cloud cover rolling in just before sunrise at around 6:46
AM this morning. So I threw down a quick cup of joe, grabbed the camera and the
bike and headed out for the Lepire Drive bike trail- (which is quickly becoming
my favorite place to shoot from) So I
get all the way to the overpass on 5th, and its still kind of this grayish-
murky dark color out, thats when I picked up the camera case and discovered
that the camera wasn't even in it. nice- way to pay close attention Scratch ol
bean! so I hurry back to the apartment
and bolted up stairs and snatched the camera off of the desk where I'd left it,
jumped back on the bike and headed back out to Lepire. I got these just before
the sun came up, I noticed though that I'm probably going to have to learn to
shoot in low lighting with this new Camera if I'm going to continue with my sunrise
experiments. I'll go through the manual again this morning and see what it
says, some of the images from this batch seem a little grainy to me, maybe its
from the the image editor that I'm using but I'm not sure. anyhow I got some ok
shots. I'm so ready for the fall!

All of the overtime that I've been putting in for the past two weeks finally paid off yesterday! although that last hour at work deliberately seemed to take its time getting over with, as soon as it did though I got home and hit the shower and immediately afterwards made a beeline to the Carson Nugget to cash my check and then it was off to Office Depot to get the new camera, I went with the Canon SX 160 IS, with 16 MP's and 16 x optical zoom.. great little camera, and its definitely a step up from the old one. I had to buy a case as well though, the little bugger is a tad too big to fit in the old one, over all, I'm a happy guy!
